Hi
Guys, I'm trying to update my zoom client and yum (or yumex) won't let me
do an update, so I try to remove the installed one, on the theory that if
it isn't there I should be able to install a newer one, by doing "sudo yum
remove zoom_x86_64" (where my PWD is the directory where the zoom RPM
files
live) and it tells me "no packages marked for removal.
This should tell you the real name of the package
rpm -qa zoom\*
Then rpm -e zoom... should remove it.
That said, I've never used zoom so I don't really know if they do
something special.
Regards,
Simon

You should use: sudo yum remove zoom
Commercial companies are notorious for renaming their RPM's to different filenames than
what the package variables set. The filename has no bearing on the package name when
installed. In this case, the download is called "zoom_x86_64.rpm" but it's
real rpm filename with the typical name-version-release.arch may be queried from the
download file itself:
rpm -q --qf='%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n' -p ./zoom_x86_64.rpm
zoom-5.13.5.431-1.x86_64
As you can see, the real package name is "zoom".
"sudo rpm -ev zoom" would also be a fine option.
